Common Rome: fiducia of mercy to be obtained is not justifying faith act but distinct from faith

Roman school common teaching: fiducia of pardon and mercy still to be obtained from God is not an act of justifying faith but something distinct from faith.

They urge this hard against Protestants in the faith-nature disputations of Bellarmine, Valencia, Stapleton, and others.

Latin

XXXVII. Praeterea communis Theologorum in Schola Romana doctrina est fiduciam veniae & misericordiae a Deo impetrandae non esse fidei justificantis actum, sed aliquid a fide distinctum; quod vehementer urgent & contendunt contra Protestantes, ut videre est in eorum de fidei natura Disputationibus apud Bellarminum, Gregorium de Valentia, Stapletonum & alios.
